.wfu files are binary files for Molpro's internal storage format. You are not 
supposed to read them directly; not in the least because the format is 
unspecified and might change between different versions.

You can use the put command to export data for use by other programs. For 
example,
	put,molden,myfilename
for export to the Molden program (which might also be more readable than 
Molpro's internal files). Alternatively, the matrop program also has a 
functionality to export data in ascii format:
{matrop;
	load,orb;
	write,orb,filename
}
